I've gotten pretty familiar with slurm, but otoh I'm opposed to job scripts,
and normally use slurm "inline".
(I strongly believe that the queueing system should be a prefix to the
user's command, as if they were running it directly. ie:
sqsub -o outlog ./myserialprog
sqsub -o outlog -i in -e err --mail -q mpi -n 32 -N 8 ./mpihello --verbose
that sort of thing. maybe this drives our users nuts, and they're just
hankering to screw around with pesky little scripts. donno. it drives me
crazy when some user discovers that we haven't gotten around to removing
the PBS compatibility commands that LSF supplies. the problem is that LSF
then records the literal content of the PBS script as the job's command.
and that means that our unified sql db of all jobs have garbage for some
jobs, rather than a meaningful string that hints at being nwchem, blast,
etc.)
sorry for the peeve-venting, but thanks for the opportunity ;)
